Hi,
Based on my knowledge, if site A and site B lose connectivity to site C, all databases will stay mounted because it doesn't lose quorum.
If WAN connectivity is lost between site A and site B, one site of the two sites will retain quorum and the other site will lose quorum. For more details about this, you can refer to the "Misconception Number 2: Microsoft
recommends that you deploy the Witness Server in a third datacenter when extending a two-member DAG
across two datacenters" section in the following blog.

Migrate Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013, Need to defined win 7 users logon to Exchange 2010 & Win 8.1 users logon to Exchange 2013

Hi,
My organization have few win 7 and windows 8.1 clients. Now I want to migrate exchange server 2010 to 2013. And I don't want to remove exchange 2010 from the organization. Because I want to connect win 7 client through exchange 2010 and windows 8.1 user
connect to exchange 2013. Is there any way to define the win 7 users to connect to exchange 2010 and Windows 8.1 users to connect to exchange 2013?
Md. Ramin Hossain

The client connections are proxied to the mailbox servers that hold the mailbox.
You would need to have 2010 MBX servers with the mailboxes for the XP users, and 2013 MBX servers holding the mailboxes for the 7 users. And of course, the appropriate CAS servers.
Realistically, you need to migrate away from Windows XP. It is no longer supported.

EXMON "exchange server user monitor" for Exchange 2013?

Hello,
it Looks like EXMON is not supported for Exchange 2013. Is this correct or can i use it with Server 2012 R2 and Exchange 2013 (CU6++) ?
Is there any alternative to check high log growth rate to see which user is responsable for this?
Thanks for Feedback.
best,
Martin

Hi Martin,
Yes, ExMon is not supported for exchange 2013.
Except the suggestion above, here is an exclusive application for you reference, it could retrieve statistics for all or selected mailboxes in a specified database and server, it may give you some help:
Exchange Server Mailbox Statistics Tool - v1.6.2
The tool retrieves mailbox statistics which includes Folder Count, Total Items, Associated Items, Deleted Items, Total Items Size, Deleted Items Size, Oldest Item Date, Newest Item Date, Items Age, Mailbox Age and Quota details. It also includes an additional
option named "Archive Statistics Planner" which will let you search mailboxes and provide statistics report with specific dates.

No premium OWA for IE11 with new install of Exchange 2013 w/sp1

We just installed Exchange Server 2013 with sp1 included. Everything is good except IE11 users don't get the premium OWA site. I know that this was fixed in CU3, but you can't install it because SP1 is supposed to contain all the fixes through CU3.
Does anyone have any idea?

There's nothing wrong with the server.
I have LAB environment also and OWA will show as legacy client rather Exchange 2013.
I would suggest the same I suggested before... Uninstall IE11 and install IE10
Also the windows Update has to be UpToDate

Hi
You can paste the output of below result
Get-receiveconnector | fl name,bindings,PermissionGroups
I think your default receive connector should be missing out some permissions.
Also try to see if you get any message on protocol logs and paste them too

Problem with Mavericks Mail and Exchange 2013

Hello,
I have just updated to Mavericks a few days ago. Now I have a strange problem.
The setup with Exchange 2013 works fine ... so I can send&receive mails.
The problem: I only get new mails. All (few thausand) mails stored on the Exchange account are not synced to mail?!
Maybe anyone has an idea how to solve this ...
Thanks,
Marc

Some problems with Exchange mail have been solved by disabling Autodiscovery. If that doesn't work, see below.
Back up all data. Delete the Exchange account from the Internet Accounts preference pane and add it back. If there's still no improvement, continue.
Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
Envelope Index
ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Exchange 2010 users cannot open Exchange 2013 shared mailbox

Title says it all.
We're in the process of migrating 1000+ mailboxes to Exchange 2013. A number of shared mailboxes have been migrated, but those users still on 2010 cannot open them.
Is this just how it is, or is there a way around it?

Hi,
I tested in my lab, if the shared mailbox is on Exchange 2010, I could open this shared mailbox successfully. Then I moved this shared mailbox to Exchange 2013, after that, I couldn’t open it anymore, I got the following error:
Besides, I tried to open a shared mailbox on Exchange 2013 which was not moved from Exchange 2010, it is the same error message.
Based on the test, it seems that Exchange 2010 users can’t open shared mailbox on Exchange 2013. So I recommend you move those users to Exchange 2013.

Unwanted contacts synced with Office 365 and Exchange 2013

I have an issue with unwanted contacts on Mavericks (and formerly Mountain Lion) syncing with our hosted Exchange server on Office 365. The problem began when the Office 365 service upgraded to Exchange 2013. I do not use iCloud at all.
The unwanted contacts are only visible when I click on “All Contacts” within Contacts.app and do not appear in any hosted or local contact group. They are synced to all our macs, but are not visible on anything else, including Outlook.app or OWA, or our iPhones and iPads. Each user with a hosted Exchange account on Office 365 has the same problem, but with a different set of unwanted contacts. Normal contacts behave as expected for each user and device.
The format of the unwanted contacts is simple. They contain nothing but an email address (no name, phone, IM or other details) which leads me to think they are automatically generated recent or suggested contacts, although some of them are quite old. We use Mail.app exclusively on our macs.
I can delete these unwanted contacts one at a time from any of my macs, and although they appear to be deleted on the server (resyncing another mac deletes them there too), they will reappear (resynced from Exchange) within a day or two and they have to be deleted all over again. It is a frustrating and time consuming process.
My questions then:
can I prevent Contacts.app from the syncing these contacts?
or can I prevent Mail.app from presumably sending them to the server in the first place?
or is there a command I can issue through Powershell to tell Exchange to delete and not retain these contacts?
Any other suggestions to prevent this behaviour would be most welcome.

I'm having this exact same issue.
Have you seen this thread? https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5252673?start=45&tstart=0
I'm on Exchange 2013, which I manage, and Mavericks. I also noticed you can see a "Linked Contact" on OWA 2013.
This is just more of the extremely poor Apple software engineering we have seen over the last few years...

Is Dreamweaver the best tool for creating a review site with user ratings/reviews? CMS?

Hello everyone,
I am really wanting to develop an online gaming review website and have some Dreamweaver/Wordpress/CMS questions i am hoping you can all help me with, thank you in advance for your patience as i am new to site development.
I am thinking of creating a review site which will involve me writing about 100 online gaming reviews, and then getting users to upload their comments/feedback, etc. Each of the reviews would be updated monthly with stats, performance, and other details. Each review would contain a text review, video review, and various images and screenshots. Integrating user-generated content will be a big factor.
I am trying to de-confuse myself with all the prep work around making sure i have the right tools and technology i need to be successful. Many people tell me i should use Wordpress due to the nature of my site, or at least a combination of Wordpress and Dreamweaver - not sure how that would work exactly. I dont want to be too dependant on just Wordpress because i want to be sure my site can be customized and i grow and enable more advanted value for my site visitors. ...i would love to have a members only area at some point in the near future.
Please see below for some questions running through my head:
1. Do i need a seperate CMS tool? ...and which may be best considering the nature of my site?
2. Should i use Wordpress instead? ...or a combination of Wordpress and Dreamweaver? - why should i use a combination of the two?
3. SEO is a major factor - does that make a difference?
4. My reviews will need to be updated monthly, so i will try to maximize the use of templates, etc. Do i need to create a dynamic site in Dreamweaver or will a CMS manage that?
5. Which options are best to avoid as much as manual coding as possible
Thank for you taking the time to read this, ...any tips/guideance would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Harps

Short answer: You don't need Dreamweaver. Simply install WordPress on your server and use it to build your site & add/edit content.

Problems with cmdlets within the Exchange 2013 powershell

Hi,
i've following problem: I can't access all possible powershell cmdlets within the exchange powershell. For example following cmdlet is missing: "Get-Queue". Also we have trouble with some other cmdlets: Get-Mailbox only lists one of 30 mailboxes
and if we want to modify a mailbox identified by the logonname an error shows up that the user can't be found. Only the one listed user can be modified.
What can I do to solve this problem?
Yours
Achim

Hi Achim,
You need to be assigned appropriate permissions or roles before you can run all cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. For example
to run Get-Queue cmdlet - your user account must be assigned the "Organization Management" or at least "Server Management" role.
You can try this to view roles assigned to your account:
Get-ManagementRoleAssignment -RoleAssignee 'yourUserAcc' -Role "organization*" | fl role
Get-ManagementRoleAssignment -RoleAssignee 'yourUserAcc' -Role "*transport*" | fl role
Otherwise you can view and change role assignments with EAC:
In the EAC, navigate to Permissions > Admin Roles.
Select the role group you want to view the members of.
In the role group details pane, view the members in the role group details pane.

Issue with Get-LogonStatistics in Exchange 2013

Hi all,
I run into an issue with the Get-LogonStatistics cmdlet. The error says:
Cannot find LogonStatistics objects from the root 'DB1'. Please make sure that you specified the correct search root and that you have the correct permissions to perform the search.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-LogonStatistics], MapiOperationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : B3D0201A,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.MapiTasks.GetLogonStatistics
+ PSComputerName : mb1.ex2013.test
I run that cmdlet as a member of the OrganizationAdmin rolegroup.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
Sorry for the delaying respond. The error indicates there might be a problem with the ACLs. But the cmdlet "get-mailbox" works, so the ACLs should be fine.
From the result for checking, the everythings is also fine.
Is there any update?

Active Directory Sites and Exchange 2013 Deployment

I've recently took over responsibility of an Exchange 2013 Organization that is deployed as follows:
Active Directory consists of 4 Sites. AD Site A, B, C, D Exchange 2013 Enterprise resides in 2 of the 4 AD Sites as follows:
AD Site A - ExchangeServer 1 and ExchangeServer 2
AD Site B - Exchange Server 3
AD Site C - No Exchange Servers
AD Site D - No Exchange Servers
All 4 AD Sites are 4 different Physical locations/datacenters. All 3 Exchange 2013 servers are multi-role servers.
The Forest in which Exchange resides in consists of an empty Root domain, a Production (child) domain and a Test (child) domain. Exchange resides in the Production (child) domain.
Issue: AD Site A contains DC's from all 3 domains: Root Domain, Production child Domain (this is where Exchange lives) and Test child Domain. I notice that Exchange in AD Site A is using DC's from the Root Domain for it's "DefaultGlobalCatalog",
"DefaultConfigurationDomainController" and "DefaultPreferredDomainControllers" This to me does not seem to be very efficient as any Address Book queries will have to be referred to by the Root Domain DC's to the Production child domain
where Exchange lives. All of the AD User accounts and mailboxes are in the Production child domain.
In a situation such as this, would it be advisable to build 2 additional AD sites specifically for Exchange? Rather than re-IP Exchange or risk the impact of moving several other (non exchange) servers to another AD site, I would add the IP address
of the Exchange servers /32 to the new Exchange dedicated AD Sites and erect a DC in these new sites adding its IP address /32. Any thoughts on this idea? If the subnet that exchange resides on is (for example) 10.60.3.0 /16 in AD Site A, and
I build a new AD site for Exchange and add the IP address of the Exchange server such as 10.60.3.141/32 for this new Exchange AD Site boundary, I can still leave the 10.60.3.0 /16 unaffected in AD Site A, correct?
I'm looking for Microsoft's best practices in terms of laying out AD and domain controllers pertaining to Exchange server 2013.

Hi Anthouyray,
Thank you for your question.
We could use the following command to exclude domain controller which is root domain controller:
Set-ExchangeServer –Identity <exchange servername> -StaticExcludeDomainControllers <root domain controller>
Then we could restart the service of “Microsoft Exchange Active Directory Topology” to check if the issue persist.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim

Imidiantly after Exchange 2013 install, I am not able to login to Exchange 2013 EAC. When I enter my credentials domain\username, the EAC page simpli dose a quick refresh and I am back where I started.
I have tryid mutiple UTLs to access EAC page, such as:
https://localhost/ecp?ExchClientVer=15
https://localhost/ecp?ExchClientVer=14
https://localhost/ecp
Each of them show the same result, a page gets refreshet. I have tryid to move my Exchange Organization user mailbox to Exchange 2013 to see if that helps but the result.
I also noticed that OWA dosent work for mailboxes that are on Exchange 2013, they are redirected to Exchange 2007 even thou they are on Exchange 2013.
Any idea on this one?
Thank you
b.

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify if you have configured Exchange 2013 namespace and virtual directories (such as OWA, ECP, OAB, Web Services, AutoDiscover)correctly. Please make sure these virtual directories are configured correctly and check
the result.
For more information about Exchange 2007 migration to Exchange 2013, here is a helpful blog for your reference.

Remote Admin message to users on Exchange 2013

Hello,
I am currently working with a client post Exchange 2013 migration and we have noticed that when a user configures activesync on their personal device, they are no longer notified that the IT department has the ability to remote wipe.
Here's a link to an sample image of a similar message that they used to receive.
http://www.slsmk.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/as-error1.jpg
Is there a way to re-enable this message in Exchange 2013? We also have a device policy that has been set up. Could the policy be the reason that the message no longer appears? If this is no longer available in Exchange 2013, is there some
sort of notification that can be set up to inform the user?
Thanks,
Dean

Weird, I just verified that I get the popup in my organization and we don't do anything crazy out of the ordinary for ActiveSync policies. What CU/SP are you running in your organization? Can you check the phone to see if the activesync account
is already a device administrator? Maybe that has something to do with it.

GSSAPI with IMAP on Exchange 2013 SP1

We are setting up Exchange 2013 SP1 in our Exchange 2010 test environment to verify our upcoming migration. I have found out that for some reason I can't get the IMAP service in Exchange 2013 to work with Kerberos (GSSAPI) authentication with Thunderbird
as a client. It does work fine in Exchange 2010 SP3 though.
Exchange 2010 SP3 response in Thunderbird:
* CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 AUTH=NTLM AUTH=GSSAPI AUTH=PLAIN UIDPLUS CHILDREN IDLE NAMESPACE LITERAL+
Exchange 2013 SP1 response in Thunderbird:
* CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 AUTH=PLAIN UIDPLUS CHILDREN IDLE NAMESPACE LITERAL+
AUTH=GSSAPI is missing and therefore I can't blame Thunderbird from complaining about this. If I compare the output from Get-ImapSettings I can't find anything that would indicate why I shouldn't work. EnableGSSAPIAndNTLMAuth is $true on both server
and LoginType is SecureLogin.
On
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj619283(v=exchg.150).aspx I found out that NTLM is not supported on Exchange 2013 for POP3 and IMAP4 but Kerberos (GSSAPI) and Plain Text Authentication with SSL still is.
Has anyone got IMAP to work with Kerberos authentication on Exchange 2013 SP1?

Hello,
According to your description, we are unable to see the AUTH=GSSAPI in Exchange 2013.
My environment is Exchange 2013 CU1. I get the same result as yours. Looks Like Exchange 2013 IMAP does not support GSSAPI as authentication mechanism.
